The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Veterinary Medicine (UIUC-CVM) and the University of Illinois-Chicago School of Public Health (UIC-SPH) are in the fourth year of a collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Master of Public Health dual-degree program. The two campuses, one urban and one rural, are 150 miles apart but are sister schools within the University of Illinois system. This article describes the origin of the program, how the program functions across two campuses, its academic focus, required coursework, and research projects designed to fulfill the program's capstone requirements. The article shows how two campuses can be linked through a combination of online and on-site didactic coursework, briefly describes innovative proposals for projects within the United States and abroad, and highlights faculty committed to educating cross-trained public-health professionals while addressing the national need for veterinarians trained in public health. The authors also discuss how the dual-degree program has led to the formation of the Illinois Center for One Medicine, One Health (ICOMOH), an intra-university collaboration focusing on the interface of human, animal, and ecosystem health.
伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校兽医学院（UIUC-CVM）和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校公共卫生学院（UIC-SPH）开展兽医学博士和公共卫生硕士双学位合作项目已进入第四个年头。这两个校区，一个位于城市，一个位于乡村，相距150英里，但同属伊利诺伊大学系统内的姐妹学校。本文介绍了该项目的起源、项目在两个校区的运作方式、其学术重点、所需课程以及为满足项目顶点课程要求而设计的研究项目。文章展示了如何通过线上和现场教学课程相结合的方式将两个校区联系起来，简要描述了美国国内外项目的创新提案，并强调了致力于培养经过交叉培训的公共卫生专业人员同时满足国家对接受公共卫生培训的兽医需求的教师队伍。作者还讨论了双学位项目如何促成了伊利诺伊一体化医学与健康中心（ICOMOH）的成立，这是一个专注于人类、动物和生态系统健康界面的校内合作项目。
